Memo to Caroline Kennedy: Stop trying to force your son onĀ America
NY Post ^ | 8-9-17 | Maureen Callahan

Posted on 08/09/2017 9:39:40 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

On Tuesday, New York magazine published an essay by a 24-year-old law student who recently paddleboarded around Manhattan for the first time.

“I signed up for the race because I thought it sounded cool,” writes our participant. “Of course, when I asked around, everyone said it was really hard and I’d better start training.”

The smugness, the entitlement, the painfully obvious observation — one might wonder: Who cares?

Until you look at the byline and realize: Oh, of course. Another Kennedy foisted upon us.

Our diarist is none other than Jack Schlossberg, grandson of JFK, son of Caroline, accomplishment-free save for that 25-mile race around Manhattan — which he curiously notes he lives “on” rather than “in.”

This semi-self-deprecating essay is juxtaposed with 14 portraits of Jack in black-and-white on his big day, muscular and shirtless and smiling, just one of the guys. He resembles no one so much as his late Uncle John F. Kennedy Jr., who, until his untimely death in 1999, was the Kennedy family’s last last great hope.

Is anyone asking for this?

To anybody under 50 Kennedy was someone you read about in History class.

Ted Kennedy caused great harm to America and to individual Americans.

I am 55.

#9: "The last gasp of the Kennedy mystique died with Teddy"

Don't worry. The younger libs have their new "royal family": Barry, Moochelle, Malaria, and Sharia.

If he’s not a schizophrenic, a serial adulterer, a rapist or drug addict, he’s already way ahead of the other 3rd generation Kennedys

Kennedys

-Can’t Drive
-Can’t Fly
-Can’t Ski
-Can’t Skipper a Boat

But they know what’s best for us.

Just when I think it is time to change my tagline, I read an article about the Kennedy spawn and am reminded that the only thing I enjoy reading about ANY Kennedy is an obit.

At least the Bushes went out with class. Jeb might’ve lacked charisma and be a tool of cheap labor express, but at least he seemed like a decent guy. Same with George.

Why does she want to destroy his life?

I don’t want dynasties either, but let’s not confuse the actual reason for the Revolution: Freedom of Living a Outwardly Expressive Christian Life (or some call it Freedom of Religion — but that is too general).

As we know, the government can be plenty corrupt without a king. In fact, what we really want is an ABSOLUTE Monarchy that lasts forever.

The Kennedys are nothing more than a dysfunctional family with sh!tloads of $$$$. And the epitome of phony liberalism. Would the Kennedys spearhead a campaign to build Section 8 housing next to their compound in W Palm Beach? Or invite members of BLM and some Syrian refugees to their next clambake on Mahtha’s Vineyahd? If the Kennedy curse still exists, if anything happens to Jack Sclossberg, are we gonna see a bunch of roads, bridges, buildings, etc named for him? This is why did I kinda like the Dead Kennedys. Even though they were just another garden variety left leaning anarcho-punk band anyone who had the balls to call themselve that was worth giving a listen to.

Move to Cambridge. Go to Congress.

Or Lowell...Tsongas just announced she was not running.

He will be running for President in 12 years. Count on it.

By that time we will be electing Presidents after a 20 week contest on all the major networks, where they sing, dance, and perform magic tricks.

Caroline Kennedy is one of the dumbest people that I have ever heard speaking the King’s English. She comes across as semi-literate and half-tard. This is the same syntax and mealy mouth style that is heard from the likes of Hillary Clinton,Susan Rice,Marie Harf and Jen Psaki. It’s pure Libtard Speak beloved by all liberals.

The Democrats are having a hard enough time just getting rid of the
Clinton’s who still think it’s 1997 and they are the center of the universe.

ROTFL....good one.

The Kennedys - Boston’s answer to White Trash. At least he doesn’t have the traditional Kennedy Beaver style buck teeth.

The “Kennedy son” looks Jewish.

The Kennedy “dynasty” is dead, and only the media won’t let go of it, since it is they who created “the American dynasties”.
